Home recycling

You can still recycle, even if it’s not offered by your trash collection service.

You know the three R’s. You’ve started riding a bike to help reduce your driving, started reusing cloth bags to cut back on disposable ones, and you want to recycle, but recycling isn’t offered by your garbage company. What can you do?

How: A lot! Online resources such Earth911.com can help you locate the nearest recycling centers in your area. Also, composting is an easier than you might think and is the best way to recycle food and other biodegradable items.

Why: As we’ve mentioned before, recycling saves resources, and in some cases (such as aluminum) recycling even saves energy. Americans produce 4.6 pounds of trash per person every day, which adds up to 251 million tons. Every year
